Personal Narrative: Becoming G. O. A. T.

“I can do all things.” The 2014-2015 NBA MVP of the year lives by this quote. As shown on all his shoes, he proves each and every day how he lives up to these expectations. Who would have thought the puny guard from Davidson College, a small D1 school in North Carolina, who was drafted for the Golden State Warriors in 2007 would rise above all odds in seasons to come- especially this past season when he was crowned MVP? The young man who works his tail off would have to be none other than Stephen Curry, son of past NBA player Del Curry.

This year started with many changes to my and the other paraprofessionals schedules. For the first month or so I didn’t know where I would be assigned for the day. I started out with Ms. Ireland and her crew of sixth graders. I was comfortable with this assignment because I was familiar with the students. Then we had the turnover of several paraprofessional positions. One left to pursue a different career, another didn’t come back after summer break and another just left. So we were down to a crew of five paraprofessionals when we started with eight. It took some adjustment and some new hires but we finally got to a “normal” schedule and we each knew where we were expected to be daily. (Most of the time)

The career I became interested in is a Physician’s Assistant, or a few people call them PAs. I became interested in this job in my sophomore year of high school. It all started when I attended the STEM fair after school one day. STEM fair is only offered to students who are in either the biomedical Stem academy or the engineer academy. At this fair, students tour around to different classrooms to acquire information on different careers. I attended the Physician’s Assistant one, where there was an actual PA to give information on what PAs achieve. For example, PAs examine patients for diseases, injuries and illnesses.

While Stephen Curry has become a hero to some for the dazzling skills he showcases in the National Basketball League, not enough attention is given to his early life. He was raised in an athletic family who helped shape him into the player he is today. Due to his size, Curry had his fair share of doubters, but he knew that he would have an opportunity to play at the next level. He was remarkable in his middle and high school careers. He was not recruited by many, but had a remarkable career at Davidson, leading them to an Elite 8 appearance in 2008. Even after Davidson’s run ended, Steph knew that he would have an opportunity to play at the next level.

Last year Steph held a clinic for boys and girls in Tokyo. Stephen Curry and his family gave four hundred boxes of food to Oakland California families. He paid for all of the boxes and gave some special advice to the kids saying that they should stay in school and appreciate your family. Steph’s generous attitude makes him a hero because even though he is an amazing basketball player on the court he is an amazing generous person off the court.

Although I may seem to be the worst basketball player in existence, watching NBA games astonishingly is one of my favorite things to do. This is most true when Wardell Stephen Curry is playing. Steph Curry is a member of the Golden State Warriors. Currently the team has a record of 46-4, which makes most of the games exciting and relaxing to watch. Watching Steph step out on the court, always giving his all, happens to be very inspirational. One can tell when Steph is shooting deep threes that he’s not just in it for the money, but he has a genuine love for the sport.

It was an opportunity I could not pass up. The words over the intercom for the availability was a job that I planned to pursue. As I stepped into the activities office, I see flyers on the boards, people huddled around the desk. It was an awkward feeling for me, something that I never planned to do as a freshman in high school. I stepped up to the desk, somehow bringing up the courage to ask about the requirements for the position. I was handed a packet that consisted of three papers; the first page was the requirements, the second being the job positions, and the third being the recommendations. Reading all the requirements, I turned the page back to the second. I then circled the the option of “Freshman Secretary”.

Growing up I lacked responsibility and as an unfortunate repercussion my education suffered the most. However, after years of working dead end jobs and maturing, my priorities took a dramatic three hundred and sixty degree turn and changed. I had an incredible motivation, my three young school aged boys. I wanted nothing more than for their education to matter to them, and so to reflect that I set out to be the role model I really hoped to see in them one day. With that aspiration in my mind and heart, I began my pursuit of my general education degree; commonly referred to its acronym, the G.E.D test.

Four or Five years ago if you were to tell me that I would be confidently applying to the University of Miami I would have laughed. Through high school I did not give much effort and like most of my peers, thought that furthering my education was my only option. Nearing the end of my senior year I started realizing that no noteworthy university would even consider accepting someone like me. As the days ticked away, I applied to a nearby college with an incredibly high acceptance rate and found myself opening an acceptance letter a few weeks later.

You may have heard of Stephen Curry. He is number 30 for the Golden State Warriors, an NBA national championship team. Stephen wasn’t always a household name, coming out of high school he wasn’t even recruited by any big name schools. This man, an NBA Most Valuable Player, by unanimous vote, was once a five foot six inches, one hundred and twenty-five pound boy. Growing up with a father like Dell Curry, an NBA star himself, it wasn’t hard for Stephen to decide his career path. To make this dream happen, in eighth grade Stephen chose to start doing basketball all year round. Growing up in small town North Carolina, Stephen always wanted to play for the big name schools like, UNC, Wake Forest, or Duke, but they didn’t want him. As a sophomore he was too small, only being 5’ 6” and still shooting from his waist. He spent the whole summer before his junior year working on his shooting form. All his hard work paid off when he averaged 20 points a game that season. Despite these successes, still no top 25 school wanted Curry. Until Bob McKillop from Davidson University contacted Stephen and his family. Bob McKillop said, “Other schools only saw his size, his strength, his stature. I saw

I failed at trying to be cool, and attempting to make people to stop asking me “Why are you so quiet?”. After fourteen years of my life on blessed earth and the ten of which I only remember, I had gotten tired of people asking me why I was me, so I decided to change. I became talkative during class and studied less. During this episode of my life in school, I woke up every day with one goal in mind, to change my status as the definition of quiet. It was like I had developed an Operation Change Who I Am (OCWIA) plan. I made a resolution to change from quiet to talkative and lived by it every day during fall semester of schooling in 2011. I had not realized that this was going to be one of the worst decisions of my life.

Psychologists say that childhood passions and experiences often lead to future careers, I believe this is accurate for me and led me to my goal of becoming a nurse in the army. Being a nurse in the army is a demanding job, a lifelong commitment of learning, excellent teamwork and leadership skills and a passion for helping people. Personally, I believe that I offer all of these qualities.

I have been playing basketball since the age of 10, but it was never my best sport, however, it’s always my favorite sport.But there’s someone that I always looked up to and motivate me to still play basketball to this day. From rookie of the year to breaking the 3 pointer record and to 2 times MVP Champions, he’s Stephen Curry.
